远大前程英文赏析
The great expectation of Pip and Magwitch
We all know that chapter 39 is the turning point of the whole novel. Pip knows that his sponsor is not Miss Havisham, but the escaped prisoner Magwitch, who is saved by Pip. This truth makes Pip’s great expectation shattered. From the context, we can see that “the great expectation” is a kind of ambition from both Pip and Magwitch. It is such an ambition that hold up the life of both two people and bring a lot of change to their character. And the ambition is also the indication of one’s life.
First, let’s see Pip’s ambition. Although the text don’t illustrate it clearly, we can infer from several details. At the beginning of the text, Pip states that “I had a taste for reading, and read regularly so many hours a day.” This state can fully demonstrate that Pip has a strong eager to learn knowledge, which means that he wants to become a real gentleman in the upper class. And when Pip is told that his benefactor is Magwitch, rather than Miss Havisham. He is shocked, disappointed as well as heart-broken. He repeats “Estella, Estella”, which tells us that his intention to become a gentleman was because of Estella, he wants to be able to match with her. From the above, we can conclude that Pip’s ambition
is to be a gentleman and get access to Estella.
The great expectation describes not only Pip’s ambition, but also other people’s ambition, including that blacksmith Joe’s, Pip’s friend Herbert and his benefactor Magwitch’s. Let’s take Magwitch’s ambition in the text for example. I think his is rather complicated than Pip’s. There are two mainly ambitions: one is that he wants to repay Pip for saving his life, another is that he wants to show his greatness for making a little boy into a gentleman in upper class, which is also a kind of dissatisfaction to the society. Just as he mentioned in the text, “ I tell it, fur you to know as that there hunted dunghill dog wot you kept life in, got his head so high that he could make a gentleman”. The society treat him as a nasty dog and he is looked down upon those people in the upper class. But he has an ability to turn a village boy into a gentleman, and he thinks himself is nobler and greater than those people. He uses his action to satirize them.
The ambition in people’s heart is like a guiding light in their way. As one’s ambition changes, people’s behavior may change accordingly and unconsciously. Pip studies hard in order to get access to Estella. But at the same time, bad characters like selfishness and mammonism arises from him. In the front part
of the text, when Pip sees Magwitch, he pays attention to his clothing first and emphasizes his substantially dress, but roughly. Suppose if Magwitch is not well-dressed and looks like poor just as the first time they meet, will Pip accept him and let him in? When Pip recognized Magwitch, his astonishment is more than his pleasance and he supposes there will be no connection between them. Why Pip becomes so indifferent? It is because of the “different circumstances”he mentioned in the text. The circumstances that he is an upper class member now and he cannot have any connection with underclass people, let alone an escaped prisoner. Between social class and old relationship, he chooses social class. We can say that it is money that tempts him and makes him indifferent, or the money distorts his ambition, which misleads his behavior.
To conclude, I think Pip is more misfortunate than any other people. It is not because he is an orphan or he lost his money in the end, it is because he is treated as a tool by other people, unknowingly. He is treated as a money machine by his sister when he is little, and he is played by Estella as a tool to please Miss Havisham. Later, although being endowed with a large fortune, Pip is indeed an example who is made by Magwitch to manifest his greatness and to revenge to the world. Pip’s great
expectation is made by Miss Havisham, Estella, Magwitch and himself, and ruined by them.。

An Analysis of the Character PipPip is a character of the novel Great Expectations which is written by Charles Dickens. He is the most popular English novelist of the Victorian era, and one of the most popular of all time.He has many masterpieces, such as A tale of cities, David Copperfield, Hard time, Oliver Twist and so on. Great Expectations is one of his masterpieces. The story in this book happened in middle of 19 century and it reflects the gap between the rich and the poor in the capitalistic society.Pip is the main character of this book and through the story of him we can get the theme of the book. After reading this book, in my opinion, Pip is a kind and ambitious man. In the beginning, I know Pip is a poor child. He lives in a small village with his sister and Joe Garage. His parents died when he was a baby. So Pip is really poor. Then he saves Magwitch who is a convict. In the end, Magwitch gives Pip the great expectations by sending Pip to London and letting him receive a good education. I think it’s suggesting that Pip is helpful and kind to others. In the book, there are a lot of things that tell me it. For examples, in chapter 20, Pip plans to help Herbert because both of them spend too much money and Herbert can hardly afford it. Then Pip arranges to invest some money in a shipping company called Clarrikers and this company promises to make Herbert a partner of it. But Pip has to ask Miss Havisham for help since he has no money to help Herbert. Except for this thing, Pip also forgives Miss Havisham and saves her from a fire. All of these things show that Pip is a good and tolerant man.Actually, I didn’t want to continue reading the book when I read the chapter 13. In this chapter, Pip knows that somebody is to give him the great expectations and he will go to London to get the good education. Then he becomes overconfident and unfriendly to Joe and Biddy. I am really angry with it and even I don’t want to continue reading. But I know it will not be allowed and it’s too childish indeed. So, I am going on. In next chapters, I find other things likethis. In the chapter 16, Pip receives a letter from Biddy and it says Joe will come here. In general, when old friends give a visit to ours, we will be happy. But Pip concerns about Joe’ coming. And when Joe comes here, Pip is unfriendly to him. So, I think Pip also has bad aspects of his character.At last, I think Pip is also faithful to love. When Pip comes to Miss Havisham’s home and meets Estella, he fells in love with her. And then he changes his attitude to life. He wants to be a gentleman and get Miss Havisham’s admiration. In this way he can make Estella love him and finally marry her.These three points are my understanding of Pip. Anyhow, it’s a book to worth reading.。

远大前程英文读后感
远大前程英文读后感范文一:我所看的《远大前程》并不是原著,而是书虫系列图书里的简化版。
但它也记述了原著的大部分内容。
读完这本书后,我觉得这的确是一本好书,里面隐藏了许多道理,内容也峰回路转。
《远大前程》英文名叫Great Expectations。
它是由英国作家查尔斯狄更斯写的。
主人公的名字叫匹普,故事是由匹普在小村庄的教堂墓地里遇到一个逃犯开始的。
这个逃犯叫阿伯尔马格韦契,刚从监狱船里逃出来的,他非常饿,便威逼匹普给他拿食物。
匹普觉得非常害怕,便给了逃犯食物。
谁也没有想到,就是这个逃犯改变了匹普的一生。
匹普爱上了一个上层社会的女孩,从此他开始不再安分了。
他羞于与自己的伙伴为伍他姐姐的丈夫,他的好友,一个铁匠;还有村子里的其他人。
当他知道有人给他一大笔钱去让他接受高等教育时,匹普非常高兴,觉得自己终于配得上那个小姐了,他离开了村子,离开了好友,他忘记了童年的那个逃犯,去伦敦学习去了。
后来他发现那一大笔供他读书的钱是那个逃犯再次越狱后辛苦打工的钱时,他厌恶的全身发抖,他后悔离开了自己原来的好朋友而去与逃犯为伍。
后面又发生了一连串的事,这里就不细说了。
人总是希望和周围的朋友攀比,如果他们有钱,我们肯定也希望有钱,相反,如果他们很穷,那么我们却不在乎同样受穷,这大概是人的天性吧。
我们不会因为自己的愚蠢而羞愧,我们只会因为比周围的朋友更蠢才感羞愧。
匹普正是因为与上层小姐交流过后,感到羞愧,他才会厌恶以前和他一起的那些朋友们。
假如我们未期待拥有,就不会对失去而沮丧。
既然我们不曾指望富有,我们也不会因为贫穷而失望。
懂得知足的人最快乐。
对物质的追求是没有尽头的,此时需要我们有清醒的头脑去认清哪些是我们必须的,哪些是我们不必需要的。
范文二:大二时看过英文原著Great Expectations,现在重看中文版的,感觉很翔实,看来是英文功力不够,印象不深。
从前言得知这是狄更斯创作成熟阶段的三部代表作品之一,另两部是《艰难时世》和《双城记》,以后要看!小说展现了一个具备善良秉性的男孩(皮普)获得巨大财富后又一无所有的成长历程。

以下是的《远大前程》英文,供各位参阅。
With so many famous masterpieces on the booklist, itis really a pretty hard job to chooseone to read first.After much hesitation and deeply thought, I finallydecided to borrowGreat Expectations from the small library.Great Expectations is about love, family, andrejection as Pip and Miss Havisham have bothbeen rejectedin certain ways. Pip is a boy around 13 years old, easy to fright, and goesthrough his life suffering lots of sadness. He is in love with a girl named Estella and wantsher tofind his love, but for him being shy and not showinghimself to her, it makes it veryhard for him.Great Expectations was the penultimate novel pleted by the most popular novelist ofVictorian England, Charles Dickens. Born in Kent, England, in 1812 to a family of modestmeans but great pretensions,Dickens’s early life was marked by both humiliation andambition. Dickens never forgot the period of financial crisis during hischildhood,whenfollowing his father’s bankruptcy, he was taken out of school and forced to work in ashoepolish warehouse.Pip meets an escaped convict,Magwitch,and gives him food, in an encounter that is tohaunt both theirlives.When Pip receives riches from a mysterious benefactor he snobbishly abandons his friendsfor London society and his“great expectations”.I set up my mind to select it for the reason that I have read a brief introduction of thismasterpiece in my high school English textbook before. In addition, a Tale of Two Citieswhich is also written by Charles Dickens, the outstanding and special English writer, left mea wonderful and deep impression, when I finished reading the marvelous story.Of course,Great Expectations didn’t let me down,either. What’s more, the whole structureof the novel is well and elaborately designed. The plot is extremely attractive and full ofunexpected twists. Quite a few characters have a distinguishable personality. Moreover,thosewords and sentences are so beautiful and meaningful that I even took them down carefully inmy notebook. By reading them no less than three times, I have learned not only some newphrases and sentences, but also a philosophy of life.Among the characters, which impressed me most are not Pip and Estella who should be regardedas the leading roles, but Joe and Magwitch. I feel awfully sorry that Iwas not brave enoughto read the original edition that is as thick as a brick. Otherwise, I may appreciate Joe andMagwitch more.Yes, they are not the main characters in the novel. However, what they saidand what they did deeply touched me. It’s interesting,isn’t it? They are quite theopposite guys. One is a totally good man without the least bit of wickedness while the otheris a prisoner who is believed to have mitted every evil.I believe that everyone who reads the book is to like Joe. When he talked about his heavydrinking father who hit him a lot, he said he had a lot of love. Faced with his rude wife, hewould rather seem a bit weak or foolish than stand up to her and fight for himself. KnowingpeacockishPip was ashamed of his uneducated manners, he left sadly and quietly. The worldrushes on over the strings of the lingering heart making the music of sadness. But when hewas informed of Pip’s illness, he immediately came to take good care of Pip.He is alwayscontributing everything and requiring nothing. Such a man is Joe, kind, tolerant andselfless. "Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage, nothing socruel and pitiless ascowardice," says a wise author.However, why do I appreciate Magwitch, the bad guy? You may wonder. Indeed, Magwitch did alot of evil thingswhen he was young. But how can you be unmoved when you get to know thatthe old man kept himself going just by thinking of the boy who once did him a small favor?He lost his only daughter and Pip had no parents, so he considered himself as the boy’ssecond father, making up his mind to help his dear boy became a gentleman. He did every kindof job and led a hard life in Australia. At last he made a big fortune and promised himselfthat all the money would go to Pip.He could have led a better life in Australia ,but Ihechose to go back to London .with the simple intention of seeing Pip, he went back at the riskof being hanged! “whatever the fault he had from the start, remember,reader,he had a goodheart.” Joe used these words to describe his father. But I think these words can betterdescribe Magwitch. He lived with the fear of deathall his life. Who shuts love out, in turnshall be shut outfrom love. However,thankfully,because Pip finally realized his goodheart, his ending was peaceful.Dickens has Pip as the writer and first person narrator of this aount of his life'sexperiences, and the entire story is understood to have been written as a retrospective,rather than as a present tense narrative or a diary or journal. Still, though Pip "knows" howall the events in the story will turn out,he uses only very subtleforeshadowing so that welearn of events only when the Pipin the story does. Pip does, however,use the perspectiveof the bitter lessons he's learned to mentacidly on various actions and attitudes in hisearlier life.I know how to fully understand this novel,twice is far from enough. Pip,Estella, MissHavisham,Biddy even Mr Wemmick, every single character has a story that is well worth myattention. I love this novel so much that I am determined to read the original edition oneday. Believe me. But before that day es,I will see the movie Great Expectations first.Search for knowledge, read more,sit on your front porch and admire the view without payingattention to your needs."Great Expectations" is the late works of Dickens, but also his most mature work. The title is ironic, it tells an orphan, Pip wants to be the ideal upper story of disillusionment, he eventually did not as a gentleman, of course, and there is no so-called Great Expectations.This book is an extremely exciting story closely the reader's heartstrings, and vividly describes the suffering of a continuous struggle with the fate of orphans Pip psychological history, at last he finally grasped the truth of life to bee an ordinary person, and to shake hands with the first love reunion, was a plete ending."Great Expectations" The story has its unique features; there is a time to let the reader unable to stop feeling. Pip hero of this book, but also linked to other charactersin a theme. The environment can change people's destiny,Pip is to be the environment change. The beginning, Pip was a kid how naive, easily the letter people, sympathetic.However, Pip had suffered the fate that met the Queenas a girl, this girl will be thorough affect his life. He began to look down on themselves, they began their own home environment and background feel inferior, "and I thoughtthis house in mind, there is no hint of sunshine! The same time, their actions are more offensive and more looked down on his family." It was a very good scene of writing, insuch a horrible room, look down upon himself. Is the magic do? Not! This is to be the one truth: Man is the product of the environment. Is the environment has changed Pip.Further, Pip, "good luck", the already possessed, and the non-go when the upper one. Pip asked Herbert to teach him manners and rules, shows that he was anxious to be a Londoner. However, no matter what Pip’s hearts of the good, you can still feel the. He secretly spending money to support the cause of Herbert, which shows that he is a good person, generous benevolence of friends, and never mean. Know that his benefactor turned out to be a fugitive; hebegan to evolve from the environment. "And the benefactor goodbye became heavy with the anxiety of."This shows that Pip began to care about the safety of the benefactor, and affection of the benefactor produced. "Even if we lack of money can no longer use the benefactor’s money." Indicates Pip heart good things started to recover in the end, he lived a mundane and real life. Finally, Pip and Yisidaila Stop hand, one out of the ruins, the vast heaven and earth being immersed in the quiet of the moon…… From the ruins to the night's fog and then the very beautiful moon, a symbol of Pip and Yisidaila love Trilogy began is not possible, and then is hazy, and finally the moonlight shines. This is a happy ending,finally no regrets.The language features, writing in the modus operandi, but there are many places that we can learn. "Rats have been eating it with his teeth, but there is more than sharp teeth of rats chewing on me." In order to describe the Miss Habersham suffering, wonderful! "A people the illusion of terror spread in my heart, as if I Yisidaila are beginning to rot … …" This is a classic literary description, to the effect of poetry."I'm suddenly feeling out of control, lying on the floor, straining to pull his hair on both sides." This sentence in particular to convey the character'spsychological inner conflicts, he knew loved the wrong person, but still going to love. "London gave me the impression that a little bit chaotic, narrow roads, forming, but also very dirty." This is only a few strokes; heoutlines the characteristics of London. Pip was in this environment, to bee a "super person" two efforts.The author describes the Miss Habersham He's story,both pact and they are prehensive, using a flashback approach. At this point, we have the old lady's situationis clear to her before the abnormal behavior to understand.

Why Pip disappointments, danger, shame it? That is because the benefactor in his heart has always been a fan, he alwaysfelt the old lady, the result is a fugitive, he certainly disappointed. Contact with the fugitive is certainly dangerous, this point Pip clear. The fugitive's money than with an upper people's lives is also true that allows Pip ashamed ofIn the years went on, people began to change, in the author's pen, wrote a very natural throughout.

远大前程故事读后感 英语
《远大前程》的启示:梦想与现实的交织 "Great Expectations" is a profound novel that explores the complexities of human nature and the intricate dance between dreams and reality. Written by Charles Dickens, it tells a tale of Pip, a young boy who rises from humble beginnings to the heights of society, only to discover that the road to success is not always paved with gold. The novel, set in England during the 19th century, captures the essence of the social and economic divides that existed during that period, making it relevant and resonant even today.What struck me most about "Great Expectations" is the intricate portrayal of Pip's character development. Initially, Pip is a naive and impressionable boy, eager to escape his mundane life and pursue the allure of the upper class. His encounter with the escaped convict, Abel Magwitch, and the subsequent revelations about his own past shake the foundations of his world. These revelations force him to reevaluate his values and ambitions, leading him to a crisis of conscience.The novel also highlights the role of female characters, particularly Estella and Joe Gargery, in shaping Pip's destiny. Estella, the beautiful and aloof daughter of a wealthy family, represents Pip's unattainable dream, while Joe, a kind and loving blacksmith, embodies the values of hard work and humility. These characters, along with others like Miss Havisham and Herbert Pocket, provide valuable insights into the complexities of human relationships and the influence of society on individual identities.The theme of social class and its impact on people's lives is another noteworthy aspect of the novel. Dickens cleverly uses Pip's rise and fall to expose the hypocrisy and snobbery of the upper class, while also revealing the dignity and resilience of the working class. Thisexploration of class divides is not only relevant to the19th century context but also resonates with modern-day issues of social inequality and class Mobility.Moreover, "Great Expectations" is a powerful commentary on the nature of dreams and ambition. Pip's journey teaches us that dreams, while important, should not be pursued at any cost. The novel reminds us that success is not solelymeasured by external factors like wealth and status but also by our character and the values we hold dear.In conclusion, "Great Expectations" is a timeless novel that offers profound insights into human nature, social class, and the complexities of dreams and reality. It encourages us to question our values, ambition, and therole of society in shaping our lives. By examining Pip's journey from innocence to disillusionment and beyond, the novel reminds us that while dreams may guide us forward, it is our character and values that ultimately define our destiny.**《远大前程》的启示:梦想与现实的交织**《远大前程》是一部深刻探讨人性复杂性和梦想与现实交织关系的小说。

英文原著阅读报告greatexpectations远大前程第一篇:英文原著阅读报告 great expectations 远大前程Great ExpectationsIntroductionThe novel I read this time is “Great Expectations” written by Charles Dickens(1812-1870).He is the greatest representative of English critical realism.Dickens was bornin a poor family.At the age of 12, his father was put in prison and young Dickens was sentto work in a factory.From 1827 to 1829, Dickens worked as a clerk in a low firm and lateras a newspaper reporter.Dickens was horned by the Queen of England three months beforehis death on June 9, 1810.The words of his grave read as follows “by his death, one ofEngland’s greatest writers is lost to the world.”He has many maste rpieces, such as “A tale ofcities” “David Copperfield” “Hard time” “Oliver Twist” and so on.“Great Expectations”is one of his masterpieces.The story in this book happened in middle of 19 century and itreflects the gap between the rich and the poor in the capitalistic society.The summary of the bookThis story tells us about a young man who wished for the unreal/imaginary lives, andeventually his hope was extinguished by the real life.Pip was an unfortunate boy.Hisparents both died when he was a baby.He was brought upby his elder sister and herhusband Joe Gargery.Joe was kind to Pip and he also wanted Pip to be a good blacksmith.But the emergence of Estella has changed his life.He fell in love with Estella and he wanted to be a gentleman for her.Then a mysterious person came to help him to realize his greatexpectations.At first Pip thought that it was Miss Havisham, a strange woman made plansfor him.But at last, it proved that an escaped convict who he had helped when he was alittle boy was his benefactor.When the escaped convict was arrested again, his expectationswere at an end.Finally he realized that he only wanted to be a gentleman but he had ignoredhis old friends.He came to the real life again eventually.After suffering so many pains heand Estella came together at last.My view on this story“Great Expectations”, I think there is an irony included in this title.It relates to some unrealistic dreams.From this novel, I have learnt a lot.Firstly, I pick up several lessons from Pip.One can have great dreams, but we should achieve our dreams by our own effort instead of depending on other people.In this story, Pip had an unrealistic dream.He didn’t want to be a poor blacksmith like Joe.He wanted to be upper class people, to be a gentleman and he imagined that there was someone had made a plan for him.It is true that Abel Magwitch helped him secretly.But when Abel Magwitch was arrested, it put an end to Pip’s great expectations.He had nothing left.And in this book, Herbert and Pip form a poignant contrast.Herbert made great efforts to realize his dreams.In the end, his business was doingwell, and his company had offices overseas.Therefore, we should realize that if we want to achieve something or fulfill one of our ambitions, we must make efforts by ourselves.There is no one in the world that makes plans for us.And there is no short cut for success.Secondly, I have learned from Pip’s experience that we should be grateful to others.We know that Pip was brought up by his sister and Joe.And Biddy was also friendly to him when he was at home.But when he was helped by a mysterious person, he moved to London to learn being a gentleman.He began to be proud and look down upon those people at home.He wanted to forget his poor life and his poor friends.But when h is “great expectations” were ruined, it was still those people who helped him out of trouble.However, when he began to realize it, his sister has died;it was too late to say thanks to her.What I want to say is that no matter how successful we are, we should not be proud;we should not forget the people who had helped us, and return for them.If I have learned anything about giving thanks, it is this: give it now.Don’t hesitate until it is too late to give our thanks.Thirdly, I also learn some lessons from Miss Havisham, She is a woman full of hatred, and she lived in hatred for so many years.She brought Estella up in order to revenge on man.I think what she did is not worth at all.On one hand, she was not in real happiness, although she revenged on other people.On the other hand, she had ruined Estella’s life.In addition, she also made other men miserable.As for as I’m concerned, if I was Miss Havisham, I will choose another different kind of life.I will make myself live better than before to prove that I can live better without that man.From her experience, I think we should learn to forgive,learn to give up some bad things that had happened.No matter what had happened in the past, we should not be always lost in the pastand we are supposed to look forward, and continue our new life.There is no doubt that if she had chosen a positive way, she will have a satisfactory life.What’s more, when it comes to Estella, I want to say that we should live our own life, and do not only live up to others’ expectations.We kno w that, Estella was brought up by Miss Havisham to revenge on man.She did everything that Miss Havisham told her.We can say that she was “made” by Miss Havisham, and she was proud, cold.At last, following Miss havisham’s requirements she married to a man s he didn’t love at all.I think she lived an unhappy life.She only did as other people told her.And she didn’t do something what she liked.I think this kind of life is meaningless.We should have our freedom.It occurred to me that nowadays, parents have high expectations on their children.They decide so many things for their children without getting their children’s permission.I think children should have their choice of life.Parents should not put their children into cage.It

life, he had a deeper cognition for people, environment, as well as the life which he had gone through.And all the mature cognitions are included in this writing---Great expectations.pip was brought up by his sister who was unpleasant as well as crude and her friendly blacksmith husband—Joe.Joe himself had arranged a common hard but satisfied path for pip to go through, and on the other hand, pip beheld this as his highest goal to achieve.But the two things which he had experienced later had changed hispursue and his fate as well.Met Abel Magwith(an escaped convict)in the swamp, and unwillingly helped him out of danger by stealing food from his own home.If say that had changed his attitude for material life, then, his introduction to Miss Havisham, an aging woman who had been jilted at the alter and Estella who had been brought up by Havisham only to revenge for her own pain had brought vast shock for his world of spirit.Aspiring to be a gentleman despite his humble born, pip fortunately or unfortunately received a fund of wealth from an unknown source and being sent to London with a lawyer.From then on, he became a gentleman without question at the price of losing everything.The title of this book is ‘Great expectations” which make an impression on us that the character would have great expectations just as the title goes.But in fact this title has a tone of sarcastic on the other way around.This story full of quirkiness from the very beginning to the end, the relations among characters are anfractuous as well which actually attracted me a lot.One of the paragraphs, which I appreciate most implicatively as well as beautifully expresses the feeling between pip and Estella.“We are friends,” said I, rising and bending over her, as she rose from the bench.‘And will continue friends apart.” Said Estella.I took his hand in mine, and we went out of the ruined place;and, as the morning mists had risen long ago when I first let the forge, so, the evening mists were rising now, and in all the broad expanse of tranquil light they showed to me, I saw no shadow of another parting from her.At the view of language, this works had achieved a step o f highest, Dicken had made this writing plain and fluent as well, which surely can attract lots of readers and high comments.To be frank, I really impressed by this art of beauty.So I like Dicken’s works very much.远大前程英文读后感二:To be simpleAfter reading the whole book of “Great Expectations” written by Charles Dickens, I can’t find suitable words to express my thoughts completely.First of all, I am attracted by the excellent literary talent of Charles Dickens.The descriptions of the details are just right for the foundation of the background.The design of the story also brings me shock.To me, it is not only a good story, but also a lesson of the life that I am experiencing.But, what I have learnt from the book is not the main idea that Charles Dickens wanted to show.What impresses me deeply is only a supporting role —pared with the life of pip, what Joe has experienced is so ordinary.He is an ordinary blacksmith, an ordinary husband, an ordinary brother, an ordinary friend, even an ordinary person!However, just such an ordinary person brings me a great special feeling.In his world, life is so simple.He is far away from the complex world which is polluted by the ugly soul of people.May be, “kind-hearted” is the biggest adv antage of him, which is also the biggest shortage of him in his daily life.Different from all the other figures in the book, Joe’s life is so simple and his thoughts also stay pure after he experiences whatever sufferings that life gives him.In my opinion, his childhood is miserable.What he has experienced must be unhappy and sorrowful.He grows up in such a family, meets so much violence(May be, in that period, it is common)。

下面我为大家带来,欢迎大家阅读!1He was a secret-looking man whom I had never seen before. His head was all on one side, and one of his eyes was half shut up, as if he were taking aim at something with an invisible gun. He had a pipe in his mouth, and he took it out, and, after slowly blowing all his smoke away and looking hard at me all the time, nodded. So, I nodded, and then he nodded again, and made room on the settle beside him that I might sit down there.2However, go to Miss Havishams I must, and go I did. And behold! nothing came of the late struggle. It was not alluded to in any way, and no pale young gentleman was to be discovered on the premises.I found the same gate open, and I explored the garden, and even looked in at the windows of the detached house; but, my view was suddenlystopped by the closed shutters within, and all was lifeless. Only in the corner where the combat had taken place, could I detect any evidence of the young gentlemans existence. There were traces of his gore in that spot, and I covered them with garden-mould from the eye of man.3For such reasons I was very glad when ten oclock came and we started for Miss Havishams; though I was not at all at my ease regarding the manner in which I should acquit myself under that ladys roof. Within a quarter of an hour we came to Miss Havishams house, which was of old brick, and dismal, and had a great many iron bars to it. Some of the windows had been walled up; of those that remained, all the lower were rustily barred. There was a court-yard in front, and that was barred; so, we had to wait, after ringing the bell, until some one should come to open it. While we waited at the gate, I peeped in (even then Mr Pumblechook said, `And fourteen? but I pretended not to hear him), and saw that at the side of house there was a large brewery. No brewing was going on in it, and none seemed to have gone on for a long long time.4AT the time when I stood in the churchyard, reading the family tombstones, I had just enough learning to be able to spell them out.My construction even of their simple meaning was not very correct, for I read `wife of the Above as a complimentary reference to my fathers exaltation to a better world; and if any one of my deceased relations had been referred to as `Below, I have no doubt I should have formed the worst opinions of that member of the family. Neither, were my notions of the theological positions to which my Catechism bound me, at all accurate; for, I have a lively remembrance that I supposed my declaration that I was to `walk in the same all the days of my life, laid me under an obligation always to go through the village from our house in one particular direction, and never to vary it by turning down by the wheelwrights or up by the mill. 5As the night was fast falling, and as the moon, being past the full, would not rise early,we held a little council: a short one, for clearly our course was to lie by at the first lonely tavern we could find. So, they plied their oars once more, and I looked out for anything like a house. Thus we held on, speaking little, for four or five dull miles. It was very cold, and, a collier coming by us, with her gallery-fire smoking and flaring, looked like a comfortable home. The night was as dark by this time as it would be until morning; and what light we had, seemed to come more from the river than the sky, as the oars in their dipping stuck at a fewreflected stars.天黑得很快,偏巧这天又是下弦月,月亮不会很早升起。
